Looking out the window weather: 4/4

Looking out the window weather: 4/4

Written by John Daniel

Lookin’ good — the lookin’ out the window weather looks great.

Clouds cleared quick after daybreak giving way to a “Sweet Home Alabama, where the skies are so blue” morning. Plenty of sunshine will push temperatures up rapidly, and a 10 to 20 mph southerly breeze will continue to bring warm, humid air into the Wiregrass.

Friday look for highs near 90 degrees, and sunshine, but clouds may move in and out through the day.

Saturday should be another nice day in the area; continued very warm, but increasing clouds and moisture in the air may lead to mostly cloudy skies.

Sunday, late, rain and storms return.

Then Monday may be stormy early, but much colder air blows in on the backside of the rains, and low temperatures Monday night and Tuesday may tumble into the 40s.
